Programming Guide
Changing the Settings
To change the settings press the [SET] button on the far right.
The digit of the display starts flashing. If you want to change
this number, press the up arrow [#] button to increase the
number or the down arrow [$] button to decrease the number.
To skip the number without changing, press the left arrow [!]
button. When you reach the far left digit, pressing the left arrow
[!] button will return you to the far right digit.
Note: If you press and hold either the up or down arrow [#] [$] button for
more than 1 second, the flashing number will increase or decrease at ten
counts per second.
When the number is correct, press the left arrow [!] button.
The far right digit stops flashing and the next digit to the left
starts flashing.
You can only change the flashing number. Continue changing
numbers until you reach the desired setting. Press the [SET]
button. The numbers stop flashing and the control accepts the
new setting. After approximately 30 seconds, the control starts
alternating the display between Time of Day and Capacity.
Note: If the new setting is not accepted because it was outside the
allowable range, the old value will be displayed. Refer to the table guides
for the correct settings. (Default settings can be found on Table 6, on page
15.)
Time of Day
Press the [SET] button. The display will show the Time of Day
with the minutes digit blinking. If you want to change this
number, press the up arrow [#] button to increase the number
or the down arrow [$] button to decrease the number.
To skip the number without changing, press the left arrow [!]
button. The first number stops flashing and the next number
starts flashing. You can only change the flashing number. When
you have reached the far left digit, pressing the left arrow [!]
button returns you to the far right digit. Continue changing
numbers until you reach the desired setting. Press the [SET]
button again to enter the value.
Time of Regeneration
The next value displayed is the Time of Regeneration, which is
similar to Time of Day programming. It has a default setting
of 2:00 a.m. If 2:00 a.m. is acceptable, press the down arrow
button [$].
If this is not acceptable, press the [SET] button and change the
numbers. Press the [SET] button again to enter the value.
Water Hardness
The next setting displayed is the Water Hardness in grains per
gallon(gpg). It is recommended that a water test be performed
at the time of installation. This Hamilton Beach is designed to
run on one water source. If multiple water sources are used, it
will be necessary to change the water hardness settings to match
the current water source.
The default setting is 15 grains per gallon of water hardness.
If this is not accurate, press the [SET] button and enter a new
value. U.S. settings allow any value between 3 and 250 grains
per gallon. Metric settings allow any value between 30 and 2500
milligrams per liter. Press the [SET] button again to enter the
new value.
Salt Amount
Capacity is the next value displayed and is expressed in
Kilograins (Kgr).
The pre-set default values for each model are listed in Table 5.
To change these values, press the [SET] button and enter a new
value. Any value between 0.1 and 14.0 Kilograins is allowed.
Note: If the calculation for the system capacity exceeds 9999 gallons (99.99
cubic meters) (P5, Capacity, divided by P3, Hardness), the control will
display 9999 for capacity until the water usage has dropped the remaining
capacity below that number. When water is flowing through the system, the
colon in the Time of Day display will blink.
You have now finished Level I programming. The display will
alternate between the Time of Day and Capacity if no keys are
pressed for 30 seconds. The Capacity value displayed is the
volume remaining in gallons (cubic meters for metric) before a
regeneration is needed.
